Welcome to Royal Caribbean Runners

Welcome to a healthier, fitter you! You’ve already taken the first step towards getting fit and feeling great with Royal Caribbean Runners, a great new initiative run by Royal Caribbean International and Sport England, delivered by Run England.

At Royal Caribbean, we believe that enjoying a healthier, fitter lifestyle is also a fantastic way to have fun and to help you keep fit while you're on holiday, there are countless activities for you to take part in on board our ships. From state-of-the-art fitness centres, skating rinks, Rock Climbing Walls,Flowrider® and much more, there are so many ways to keep fit and have fun. That's why we we're so excited about our partnership with Sport England.

Running is a great way to get fit, meet other people and perhaps even lose a couple of pounds. This great new programme will help you get started if you’re new to running, or help you to keep up a training programme if you’re already a runner.

What’s Royal Caribbean Runners?

Royal Caribbean Runners are groups of 10 to 15 people who help and encourage each other through regular runs over a 12 week period. Running with other people keeps you motivated, and you’ll be pleasantly surprised how much your fitness improves in that time.

You can choose to run with an existing Royal Caribbean Runners Group, or start one of your own. If you are new to running then you’ll get lots of help and advice from a trained leader during each run. And we’d also really like to hear from you if you would like to start up a running group of your own.

Royal Caribbean Runners is open to everyone, from more experienced runners to those who can just about manage a short jog to catch the bus. Ultimately we would like to help you to feel fabulous, look great and enjoy life that little bit more.

Apart from a fitter you, what other rewards will you receive?

When you sign up with us, you’ll receive a Royal Caribbean Runners T-shirt, and to help you keep up your training if you last the distance over 12 weeks, you’ll be rewarded with a fantastic running jacket. If you would like to start up a group, then we are offering an iPod shuffle to leaders who have been trained and recruited 10 or more runners. A little added incentive to encourage your friends and family to get into their trainers. Stocks are limited so sign up now!
